What behavioral strategy involves setting small attainable goals and rewarding yourself after each step?

Shaping
Modeling
Chaining
Extinction

The correct answer is: Shaping

Shaping is the behavioral strategy that involves setting small attainable goals and rewarding yourself after each step. The other options, modeling, chaining, and extinction, are not the correct strategy because modeling involves using imitation or observation, chaining involves linking behaviors together to create a complex action, and extinction involves the gradual decrease and eventual elimination of a behavior through the removal of reinforcement. These strategies are different from shaping, which emphasizes setting and achieving small goals to reach a larger goal.
